Update from the Camden flood area on funds distribution

The aid was delivered by cooperating organisations Big Yellow Umbrella Inc, Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard and Turning Point Camden in partnership with local Rotary Clubs over a three month period.

722 individuals were the recipients of whom many already lived below the poverty line, being dependent on disability or aged pensions. Affected families were able to purchase essential items such as new bedding, linen, towels, toasters, kettles, clothes, cleaning products, food, storage units and essential items to aid recovery in a confidential manner ensuring their dignity was upheld during this hardship.

Huge congratulations to President Elizabeth Policarpio Amper and the Rotary Club of Blacktown City members on receiving the Rotary District 9675 2022-23 Best Local Community award.

The Flood Relief for Greater Sydney initiative raised a total of $94,770.40 benefiting the flood victims in Sydney’s south around Camden, and the western Sydney Hawkesbury flood areas.

Thank you Past President Liz and the Rotary Club of Blacktown City Board for embracing the concept and supporting the event to provide monetary assistance to the July 2022 flood victims in the Hawkesbury and Camden areas, The Rotary Club of Blacktown City’s Flood Relief for Greater Sydney with Comedy.

Without the support of the Rotary Club of Blacktown City, Rotary District 9675 and Rotary District 9685 and our amazing sponsors, this event would not have been the success it was, raising a staggering $94,770.40 for the flood victims.

Thank you to everyone who played a part in its success, and especially all our generous sponsors, our fabulous Blacktown Rotarians and Innerwheel ladies who worked so hard on the night – huge thanks to you all.

The Rotary Club of Blacktown City’s Past President Liz said “just have to share, so proud and overwhelming of what we can do as a Rotary Team! Without the initiative and perseverance – this event would not have happened, 722 individual recipients receiving part of $94,770.40 raised for the flood relief victims of Greater Western Sydney. Thank you Rotary International foundation for the Grants, attendees, sponsors and supporters of the event”
